Hey fellas,

Haha yea right JayD . I like work too much to just travel, besides your right if i didnt work id just party all the time...until the money un out haha.

Na we been too busy kicking the Aussie ass in the trans tasman climbing comp!!! Had nationals the next day too so couldnt party until after that.

I felt the quake here in Tauranga, earthquakes are so strange, when the whole house starts shaking you know theres some power behind there. It was pretty gentle where i was.

Was it really that bad? No one was hurt at all just a couple of old buildings fell over thats it i think...
